Forums - Nintendo - IGN review: Warioland

Another 8.4 :D

IGN Ratings for Wario Land: Shake It! (Wii)
Rating Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
7.5 Presentation
Slick hand-drawn cinemas and simple menus. Not a lot of different options or game modes. Faked widescreen is annoying.
8.0 Graphics
Gorgeous hand-drawn characters, environments and animations. Lots of style and plenty of variety. Gameplay is constrained to 4:3 presentation.
7.0 Sound
An orchestral soundtrack would've been nice. Sound effects, particularly the grunts from Wario, are amusing.
8.5 Gameplay
Really fun. Excellent control and some exceptional linear level designs. It's all enjoyable, but reaching the end is not difficult, save for a couple tricky boss fights.
7.5 Lasting Appeal
The core game can be finished in about five hours, but a bevy of secondary challenges (per level) will separate the men from the boys. Kind of like going for 60 or 120 stars in a Mario title.
8.4
Impressive

Everything got a mid 8 this week.



I've been looking forward to this game for so long and it's almost here. =D



Everything got a mid 8 this week.

Wich is good in my opinion, the pages started to thorw "10s" and "Perfect Scores" like confetti on a parade (yes I'm talking about you GTA IV)



8.4 just like deblob, not bad, but couldn't they give it 8.3 or 8.5 just not to be samey?

NOt bad. Some well rated Wii games lately. And people said Wii didn't have anything later this year haha.



I wannit :3



pretty all right score, will get it.



Disappointed about the lack of real widescreen, but it all comes down to how much fun it is. And seeing that Gameplay is the section with the highest score, it looks like this game won't disappoint. :3

Now the question remains: should I buy this now or get it for Christmas?



Will defintily buy this over the "retro" lazy game that is MM9.
